Google Home Update Brings Dedicated Listen Tab

Google Home for Android has been updated with a new Listen tab that makes it easier to find curated music streams across a wide range of services. The app itself was updated last week but the new Listen tab has now been enabled on the back end. If you don’t see it yet, don’t fret. It will be there over the course of the next few days. Once you have it, you will be able to see music streams from the likes of Spotify and Google Play Music that you can listen to at any time. You will also get recommendation for apps that can be used by Google Home for music streaming.

The new Listen tab also gives you recommendations of artists and music streams based on your listening habits. This is a great way to discover new music but also rediscover an old favorite from the past.
